SB 1396 - Bans national sex ed standards

SB 1396 ensures that Texas public education remains locally governed by prohibiting the adoption of national sex education standards, such as those created by ideologically driven organizations. The bill protects taxpayers from funding curricula that do not align with state values, prevents ideological overreach and upholds the principle of education being a local and parental right. Fiscally, it safeguards against unnecessary spending on external education programs and materials. For these reasons, TFR supports SB 1396.
